Mr. Engineer, slow the engine down some more
You’re movin’ just a little too fast
I’ve got my foot down clear to the floor

Steam engine
Engine ninety-nine

She said she’s never comin’ back again

Steam engine

Steam drivers
Rollin’ right on by

Mr. Engineer, slow the engine down some more
You’re movin’, movin’ just a little too fast
I’ve got my foot down clear to the floor

(Steam engine) Gotta keep on, keep on rollin’
(Steam engine) She’s gonna leave me, leave me behind on my
(Steam engine) I might as well go home
(Steam engine) She’s gonna leave me behind
